Abstract

A network profile describes one or more characteristics of a network including bandwidth, latency, rate of packet loss, duplication, corruption, or reordering, and so forth. Using the network profile, one or more adjustments are made to network traffic between a server device and an application executing on a client device. These adjustments virtualize the profiled network and emulate how the profiled network affects traffic. Such virtualization may enable an application to be tested under different network conditions corresponding to different network profiles.
